A tour to Old Trafford

Comments

I live twenty minutes walk from Old Trafford. Some people are quite fearful when I say that I live near a ground with so many fans visiting, but I can assure everyone that in thirty six years living here I have only seen one minor incident, when some teenage boys shouted at a police man across the road and then ran off. I used to have a ticket, but had to give it up for financial reasons, but I have often been to Old Trafford quite often.
